49. Loose Practitioners (I)
——In the Xianxia novels that Huang Chang read in his previous life, as long as the protagonists come to the market, even if they don't have the fortune to pick up a big leak and get something like a hidden treasure, they can at least easily buy the immortal cultivation resources they need - exercises, pills...... It seems that as long as you spend the spirit stone, it must be genuine, and you can practice and take it with confidence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, in this real world of Xianxia, is it really that simple for monks to shop? At least, the seniors and brothers that Huang Chang came into contact with had reminded him many times: You can't eat pills indiscriminately, and you can't practice the exercises indiscriminately. In addition to the things provided within his own sect, he can be completely assured. It's best to keep an eye on the resources you get outside. Especially those that want to act directly on your body, such as pills, exercises, etc., you should be cautious, and don't stuff them in your mouth indiscriminately. It's the same even if you spend a lot of money on it.
...... By extension, the so-called "murder and treasure grabbing" plots in Huang Chang's previous life in Xianxia novels also seem extremely ridiculous here - the protagonist kills an opponent and searches out a book from the other party's bag, which says "so-and-so cheats", and immediately dares to practice happily, not afraid of going astray at all?
- If you are so stupid and bold, you will definitely not be able to live for a few days in this Xianxia world. In this Xianxia Jianghu, it is easy to kill people, but it is difficult to capture treasures. Every immortal cultivator's mind is as deep as the sea, leaving a trap on himself in advance, even if he dies, it is never uncommon to let the murderer benefit, and the murderer will never know where the target will set a trap.
In many cases, even if you grab the other party's storage bag, you don't dare to put it on your body directly, but you have to put it for a period of time first, or dare to use it after special treatment - many storage bags have been linked to the life and soul of the owner after the blood sacrifice of the master. Once its owner is dead, either at the time or after a while, the bag will self-destruct, and when the storage space collapses, not only the contents will be destroyed, but the surrounding exterior space will also be affected - if the bag is being carried by the looters at this time...... That would be equivalent to directly avenging the original owner.
——Nowadays, the storage magic weapon of the nature of space is very rare, and it is also related to this: many owners who have storage space magic weapons are afraid of being killed by others and take the treasure, so they simply connect this magic weapon to their own lives through blood sacrifices, and it will be destroyed after death, and it cannot be handed down, so it will naturally become more and more rare.
Back to the trading aspect - in this Xianxia world, the items that will be traded between strange monks are often limited to spirit stones, materials and other things that are so simple that they can be seen through at a glance, or they are consumables that are not easy to do with their hands and feet, such as talismans and talismans. And products with high "technical content" such as pills, exercises, and array diagrams, few people will take them out and sell them publicly, and even if someone is willing to sell them, few people often dare to buy them - because it is too easy to be manipulated.
However, even those simple goods are often fake, so the credibility of the seller is crucial. And the reason why there are only two Xiuxianfang markets that can exist for a long time and are officially recognized by all monks in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is very simple - these two markets are opened by the West Kunlun sect, and there is a gold-lettered signboard of "West Kunlun" placed there, as long as it is really sold from Baiyunfang, it doesn't matter whether the thing is expensive or not, at least it will not deceive people. Most of the other more formal Xiuxianfang cities in the world are also like this - there must be a big sect behind them, otherwise no one would dare to do business.
And this is also the reason why Huang Chang made a special trip here - the distance between these two markets is very long, and the West Kunlun Immortal Mountain will pass through these two places one after another when it circles once a year, and each time it will send the disciples in need down for a few days - if they have the ability to earn spirit stones from them.
Baiyunfang is one of the relatively low-grade ones, and there is another Qingyunfang that provides more advanced things, but in general, these two levels are not too high. The items sold are at most up to the magic weapons, and most of them are only used by qi refining cultivators, and the things above the Fa Yuan period cannot be seen at all - the resources of the immortal cultivation world are limited today, and those in the Qi refining period can also be taken out and traded, and the things that are needed above the Fa Yuan are eaten as much as they are by each major sect, and it is not enough to use them for their own families, so it is impossible to sell them.
Huang Chang built a large number of talisman shields on the mountain, if they were only internally digested between the same sects on the mountain, they wouldn't be able to sell much at all, and they wouldn't be able to sell them for a price - all of the disciples of Xikunlun had magic weapons to protect themselves, and the demand for talisman shields was really limited. But it's different when you come to this mountain market. The disciples of their sect don't look down on talismans, but in the eyes of ordinary small sects or casual cultivators, talismans are still very valuable.
............
As he got closer and closer to the Baiyunfang City, there were also many companions in the same direction as him around Huang Chang—most of them were also mortal monks who went to the Fang City to sell or buy items. West Kunlun Immortal Mountain passes through this place once a year, during this period there will be more new and good goods in Baiyunfang, and experienced monks nearby will come to take a look to see if there are any good things to buy. Some even came from thousands of miles away, just to catch up with this group. Even some mortals or family caravans with superb martial arts and profound strength will be famous, because some talismans or talismans can also be stimulated with internal strength, which can also be used by ordinary people, and can be sold for a large price when taken to the mortal world.
These people were very cautious when they encountered other immortal cultivators, and they often deliberately kept a very long distance from each other. If someone approaches someone else, they will immediately attract a very alert look. If you don't know how to get there, get ready to fight.
Huang Chang walked all the way, carefully observing the other monks he met along the way—most of them were "self-taught" loose cultivators who had no sects—why could he see that? Because casual cultivators were the lowest group of people in the immortal cultivation world. The realm is low and the equipment is poor, which can often be distinguished at a glance from the appearance. Huang Chang saw that some people even had their clothes torn, and it was hard to imagine that they would be immortal cultivators with extraordinary strength.
However, Huang Chang did not dare to despise them in the slightest because of this, which the sect has repeatedly warned: All loose cultivators who can survive must have their own uniqueness. Compared to the disciples of the Great Gate Sect who lived in a safe environment, the scattered cultivators struggled at the bottom of the cruel immortal cultivation world all day long, and everything had to be solved by themselves. Not to mention anything else, the actual combat experience must be extremely rich, and you must be 120,000 points of spirit to fight with them, and the slightest carelessness may capsize in the gutter.
